[3.x - Discontinued for now] Burning Spectres - Torch the Atlas - HC Shaper, Elder, Uber Atziri

thx for build bro. first time i've done HotG with 1 die. im kill red elder at 81lvl w/o golems. uber izario at 70 lvl. after some rebuilding i've got some smoothing gameplay, but lost ~700hp (add haste aura and obtain golem jewels). so i think i can do uber atziri. thx for build again, bro!

Is it worth to fill all the gem slots for the golem ones? How is the 3 golem setup going for in terms of map speed and bossing.

The prices are a bit steep but 3 golems do sound fun.

Well, i like it. I actually was surprised that those golems do enough damage evn on bosses despite having GMP in gemlink. And their clearing ability is wonderful, clear entire pack with one or two barrage of bombs.
But SG definitely better, cause their projectile fly in straight line and hit the ones who they didn't try to hit :)
But hey, we can't always compare everything with UBERs like SG, right? At least with golems setup we still can maintain our full damage potential on bosses and have comfortable map clearing.

Kinda wanna try out this build! What unique items would anyone recommend for leveling?

Starting at level 24, and as each one becomes available:

I'm using SG + Cannibal Fire Eaters. 2+2. They use same links and benefit from same jewels. Fire eaters are noticeably good at single target. Not TV good but much better than SG. Didn't even bother getting Scourge because I hate using block flask. I might need to for shaper but I doubt it.

Two weaknesses bleed traps in lab and reflect. Fire eaters will reflect themselves to death on atziri mirror and reflect maps. Single reflect not a problem. For bleed traps I'm using Skullhead for the extra regen, works but they sometimes still get low.



I'm a cheapskate on some stuff so one jewel wasted on dex.
Unending hunger is crazy good for abysses or any concentration of monsters. They get crazy cast speed.

Anvil is interesting and a bit of getting used to. Using weapon switch brightbeak to travel between stuff. Thinking of trying whirling blades but again lazy.

You might notice weird stuff like level 20 clarity because I'm lazy with flasking. Life gets up on its own most of the time, mana less so. The shield could be better. I've had my eye on those with spell block and charges gained on block.

An idea for canibals to increase clear a bit is to use 2 green sockets the second being for faster projectiles and switch for slower at bosses. I feel gmp is kinda too good not use even at bosses because without it the AI gets stupid and they give up way too fast.(scourge might solve the stuff not melting instantly before the fire eaters can get to it in very high maps)

In an ideal world I'd get an animate guardian in a +minion bone helmet with level 4 empower with bone offering enchant for some damage boost. In the world I'm lazy and cheap I still have random leveling gems on my main weapon switch. What I'm trying to say it works even without the fancy stuff.

I tried TV and they are cancerously slow. I haven't tried golems but I doubt they can be faster than sg+ fire eaters.

How all of you get 6-link Vis Mortis? It is like 7-8ex, do you try to link it by yourself or what?

Very good clear speed with 4x Solar guards in a 6L + Flame golems combo in elder helmet.

Swap GMP for Slower projectiles vs bosses.

I found a 6L armor and a Belly and a Lycosidae all in quick succession and upgraded myself from the 5L to 6L. I imagine some ppl just link it themselves too though, but I've never lucked out on that.

And I got my 6L when it was still 9-10 ex but they were still 50-ish chaos each.

I think if you just focus on clear speed and do a lot of mapping the currency starts piling up. I found a jewel yesterday that was worth 2 ex for example.

I have ~3ex right now and i'm about to switch out my fortress for a scourge. I'll include my current gear. I'm currently running 3x TV 1x WM

1. what other upgrades should i look for when i go shopping for my scourge? As in what's the most lacking things besides the weapon on my character sheet. the guide leads me to believe i should pick up a good rare shield, is there anything it looks like my character needs from the shield?

2. would you recommend changing any of my gems around?

Someone on global 6666 last night suggested Point Blank instead of SP. At 20/20 it's 48% increased plus 50% more as long as you get up close and convocate.
